Russian official calls on Turkey to stop weapons supplies to Ukraine

Russia’s Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova said on Wednesday that she had appealed to Turkish Parliament Speaker Mustafa Sentop, saying that Turkey should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine in order to avoid further escalating the conflict.

"I addressed Mr. Sentop with a request to stop weapons supplies to Ukraine to avoid any further escalation of this situation (conflict - TASS)," Moskalkova blogged on her Telegram channel.

The human rights commissioner also said that essential comments about the need for a ceasefire were voiced at a meeting in Ankara, also attended by the Ukrainian and Turkish ombudspersons, Dmitry Lubinets and Seref Malkoc. "It is a necessary condition for the prevention of human rights violations. First and foremost, the right to life," Moskalkova wrote.

  1. It’s hard to say whether the reports alleging Turkey’s cluster munition supplies to Ukraine are true, but Moscow is closely watching the situation, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

    Asked to comment on allegations that Ankara has been supplying cluster munitions to Kiev since last October, Peskov said, "Of course, it’s hard to say whether the reports are true. You know that the number of fake reports exceeds the volume of truthful information, therefore, certainly, we are closely monitoring all this."

    The Kremlin spokesman reiterated that Russia was well aware of deliveries of Turkish Bayraktar drones and ammunition to Ukraine. However, Peskov said, Turkey has both obligations as a NATO member and maintains its own bilateral relations with other countries. "And yet, we do share very close partnership relations with Turkey that are built on mutual benefit, mutual understanding, mutual respect and a mutual willingness to discuss the most challenging issues," he emphasized.
